John -- Fossil fuel companies knew about the threat of the climate crisis decades ago. Yet, over the course of nearly forty years, these companies spent millions of dollars to spread doubt and misinformation about the dangers of fossil fuels -- robbing a generation’s worth of time to transition our economy onto renewable energy.

The tape leaked earlier this Summer revealing Exxon’s lobbying practices proves the industry’s disinformation campaign is still alive and well.

The fossil fuel industry continues to manipulate public opinion and exert undue influence in shaping policy in Congress.

That’s why Brand New Congress is joining Rep. Ro Khanna and 350org in demanding that top fossil fuel executives testify in front of Congress -- even if it takes a subpoena.

Not only does our movement need to demand accountability from the world’s most powerful fossil fuel companies that have resisted Congressional oversight in the past, we also need to show the fossil fuel industry -- and the politicians they pay off -- that we won’t allow their multi-billion dollar federal handouts to stand. Not when the climate crisis is already exacting catastrophic damage across the country.

As Chair of the Environmental Oversight Subcommittee, Rep. Ro Khanna is eager to hold these Big Oil and Gas executives accountable.

Fossil fuel companies knew that their decisions were advancing the climate crisis. They ignored the science and lied to the general public. It’s time to hold ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel corporations accountable.

Join Rep. Ro Khanna, 350org, BNC, and all the partner organizations by signing onto Ro’s call for a hearing on Big Oil executives and help put the pressure on Big Oil CEOs today.
